Not every Thanksgiving looks like the movies.
Some years we have more than enough.
Some years we’re just doing the best we can.

Both are okay.

If you’re cooking a whole feast—beautiful.
If you’re grabbing takeout and calling it a day—beautiful.
If you’re celebrating with people who feel like home—wonderful.
If you’re taking it slow, resting, or keeping the day simple—that’s wonderful too.

This season isn’t about perfection. It’s about presence.
About noticing the small, steady things that keep us going:
a warm drink, a quiet morning, a familiar song, a memory that still makes us smile.

Whatever your Thanksgiving looks like this year, may you find one moment—just one—that reminds you you’re still here, still growing, still held by something bigger than yourself.

You’re doing better than you think.
And you deserve peace in whatever way it finds you.
